Transfer certificated shares

What services do we offer?

We offer two different types of transfer service. The service you will need to use is dependent on whether the shares, you wish to transfer, are currently held in certificated format or electronically held, without certificate, as part of a Corporate Sponsored Nominee (CSN) service.

All UK companies offer certificated shares. However, only certain companies offer Corporate Sponsored Nominee holdings; please see the following list of participating companies.

Whilst transferring shares, we can arrange for any future dividend payments to be directly paid into the bank/building society of the transferee.

To arrange this, if the transferee has a registered UK bank/building society, please ask the transferee to sign and complete the ‘Payments Direct to your Bank or Building Society Account’ section on page 3 of the form. This can then be returned with the completed Transfer form and share certificate(s).

For transferees who live outside of the UK and would like to receive any
future dividend payments direct to a bank account registered outside of the UK,
we offer an Overseas Payment service to a number of countries.

Please note: A small fee is deducted prior to the funds being credited
to your overseas account and is detailed on the Overseas form/ guidance notes.

The transferor will need to return the completed Overseas Payment Service
form with the completed Transfer form and share certificate(s).

Nationality declaration

When transferring shares in BAE Systems, Easyjet, Qinetiq, Thomas Cook and TUI Travel, you will also need to complete and return a Nationality Declaration form. If this is applicable to you, please download, complete and return the appropriate form from below.
